“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.” -Ben Okri
Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.
BAFTA APOLOGIZES TO MICHAEL B. JORDAN, DELROY LINDO: 'The View' co-hosts and Amanda Carpenter weigh in as the BCC is under fire for their broadcast of the BAFTA Awards, where they did not censor a racist slur from an audience member with Tourette syndrome.
Israel reintroduced the blueprint for this form of extreme collective punishment in Gaza, and now the U.S. applies it to Cuba.
Decades of norms designed to protect CIVILIANS being destroyed before our eyes.
You are disgusting @RepCarlos Jimenez. You must have NO family in Cuba because you don’t want people to visit their relatives or send them $. And you want Cubans on the island to starve.
This is how far the U.S. has gone to make Cubans suffer. It spent billions to ensure that global connectivity didn't reach the island. If not for Cuba's neighbors and Venezuela, the Internet wouldn't exist in Cuba. No one has suppressed the Cuban people more than the U.S.
@jpohhhh By barring telecommunications groups from making connections with threats of heavy sanctions. Essentially, when sanctions are in place, companies must seek a license from the U.S. to do business with that country. The U.S. simply denies them.
AOC on Cuba: This is what we’ve seen with Gaza—a new era of depravity. There used to be stated protections for innocent civilians, and now it’s almost acceptable for the Western world to look the other way as people are starved or deprived—simply because political actors or regimes in that country are found objectionable.
What we’re seeing is the possible precipice of hospitals running out of fuel. Innocent children and women could be put in harm’s way. It’s incumbent upon all of us to defend human rights no matter where…

We are bringing 2,500lbs of lentils to Cuba to break this criminal and genocidal blockade.
LIFT THE BLOCKADE ON CUBA NOW
